Morning Ladies,

I trust you all had a Merry Christmas?. Lesley, I hope the shock has worn off by now?.

Well, I survived a hectic Christmas Day. I am wearing my imaginary badge to prove it. :-D. The weather wasn't the best but we managed. We were an hour later eating than I had planned but best laid plans and all that......

I got a lovely voucher from Oh to spend in my favourite dress shop, I smelt daughters hand in the choosing ;-). OH also gave me a jumbo pack of Malteser's, my favourites. I take issue with the packaging though - it says 'share pack'.. I say naff off, they are all mine !!..

It is the 27th today and I don't have to go in to work. I can take the day to put the house back to rights. I woke yesterday at 5.15am to my Mama calling my name. She had gone into the kitchen to check the time and stepped right into a flooded kitchen :-|. Our filter tap hose had come off in the wee hours and there was water everywhere. So much so, it was coming out under the outside walls of the house. I have a nice flood mark on the carpet in the lounge and several cork tiles are lifting in the kitchen.... I know the floor needed a wash but puh lease :-0 :-0.

So that is it for another 363 days... hooray :-).

Good Evening/Morning All.

I hope you all enjoyed your New Year celebrations :-D

Teresa will you or did you celebrate 2014 on a different day? :-S

Auntie are you in a remote part of France with no tinternet or maybe afloat on the ark? The one thing I do hope is you are not suffering with the awful chest infection that so many others have :-(

How many days now Susan before you land on our soil :-D

I think my feet are becoming webbed :-|

Morning Ladies and peeps,

Tis January 4th already... We had a pleasant New Years Eve with fruit her hubby and Mama. We went out to dinner at a lovely French Restaurant. All very civilised and we were tucked up in bed well before midnight. ;-).

Our weather is up and down, as is yours by what we hear on the radio. I hope you are all keeping warm and dry.?. This time last year we were in drought. Not so this year :-(. I should be careful what I wish for I guess.

OH and I are off for a night away tonight. Most people are still on holiday, we get back to normal on Monday so are making the most of the downtime. Hooray :-).

Lesley, we hit your shores in early June. :-). I am pouring over maps and various sites on the internet trying to decide which direction Mama and I will drive when we leave 'up north' for 'darn sarf'... So many choices :-(. Reason aside, I am looking forward to the trip. Better start saving my dollars and cents if I want some spending money......

Better get on with my day, we are off to a funeral this morning and I am going with a friend to gawp at a wedding this arvo before OH and I head out of town.

Auntie, I hope you are well?...

Hallo Susan, Lesley and Aunty and Happy new year to you all,

I did not celebrate New Year due to being on three early shifts on the trot including New Years day, I am not good nowadays at burning the candle at both ends :-D

I do hope all is well with Aunty, maybe partying and doing good works :-D

I have had a house to myself this afternoon and been cleaning the oven and had a general sort out. Its been quite nice in an cleaning ype of way.

orf now to asemble a home made curry,

toodle pip for now.

Teresa.

we have been lucky with the weather here Susan, a lot of feilds are flooded and roads have los of water on them but o real problems like some poor folk x

Susan and Teresa are you free?

I really think it's time we manned the tuk tuk and headed off in search of Auntie Petunia as she is conspicuous by her absence :-S ................. now were did I put my high visibility fluorescent pink shell suit :-D ..................... shall we say we will rendezvous 9a.m. GMT?

A very concerned
Lesley x

Bonjour, bonjour!

Put away the tuk-tuk dears. If you have not yet reached Dover...........turn back!

I am afraid we have had some illness in the family dears, and that is the reason for my absence. We had someone who had hospital treatment dears, and it was a little worrying. But all is well now, and I can get back to my good works.

But first of all....................A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL. I would say it in French, but that would seem like showing off. And you know me dears, a meek, mild, mature woman, who does things without a thought for getting recognised in the media, and does not need thanks. Although I must say I was surprised that I was not in the New Years Honours List dears, it must have got lorst in the post.

I hope you had a lovely New Year with your nearest and dearest, and all is well with you.

As you suspected Lesley dear, the airwaves around where we were staying were a little wavy to say the least. The reception was very hit and miss.

However, we had a lovely Christmas with George, Francine and dear little Valentine, and of course Francines' parents put us up. Or put up with us, if you like.

And.............as I suspected dear little Valentine is to have a sister in February. I must say that George is a stickler for timing. He always brings the car around on time!

We are to be heading back to Blighty in a couple of hours dears, and open the windows of Motie Towers to let in the New Year, and also a bit of fresh air. The house has been locked up for the duration, and will probably need a bit of Airwick to get the air circulating again.

Watch out for the news dears, we are not sailing, but flying back, no doubt there will be a reception party at the airport when I return!

By the by, if any of our little silent peepers would like to join us this year, I can assure them, they will be welcomed into the fold.

My felicitations to you all dears, and I will return to regale you all in yer actual English toot sweet!

Yours, as ever
Auntie Petunia

Yippeeeee, you are back, I do hope you don your wellies and souwester forvit is a little damp to say the least :-(

A sister you say for Valentine :-D :-D :-D :-D, get tbe knitting needles out gals :-D

I do hope all are now on the mend now Auntie, its lovely to see you back :-)

back tomorrow

orf to get some beauty sleep

Morning Ladies,

I am feeling a little sore this morning... Yesterday I tackled the lawn with the mower... Not as fit as I should be it would seem. This morning Fruit, pup and I took a constitutional... now I have an achy hip :-P. Who ever said exercise is good for you wants a slap :-D.

Petunia, I do hope all is well with you and yours now. Ooh, another baby, how lovely :-). February ?, not too long to wait then.

Lesley, sorry I missed your SOS call, but all is well again as Aunty is back :-).
How are the babies in your family doing?.

My fruit has a friend with a new baby. The poor lad has been saddled with a most unusual name :-(. One does have to wonder about these new age parents.... I see a lifetime of 'explaining' for the lad..

I am off for a blood test this morning... I am not a great fan of needles, there are two women at the lab, one's method seems to hurt less than the other's does... Technique perhaps?.. Why does it seem you are being bled dry when in fact such a small amount of blood is taken?...

Ladies, have you ever been to Porlock ?. I have been perusing my map book and I have taken a fancy to Porlock. I fancy a night there while on my road trip with Mama.. I do remember OH and I passing through in 2012. The town looked really nice. I must mention I have no intention of going on a ramble :-D, just a quiet little walk around the town will suit Mama and I quite naicley ;-).

Best get on, the clock is telling me I am running late..

Have a lovely evening

Susan

Hallo Susan, im not sure where Porlock is, I will look it up. I gave up the gym, I spent more on physio than time at the gym!!!

Hope the blood test went ok :-D

off to look for Porlock now :-D

Good Evening All

Susan I don't think I have been to Porlock but I have been to Lynton and Lynmouth which isn't very far away and I would recommend you visiting that part of the country if you can fit it in.

Lesley x

Thanks Ladies,

I have been doodling away and am even more enamoured of the area. :-). I fancy a ride on the Finicular...

The weather god has gone mad today. We have just had the second dumping of hail today.... Supposed to be summer. :-(. Mind you, I saw pictures today on the Internet of Niagara Falls partially frozen... Madness !!.

Oooh, Lesley, I like your new avatar :-). What a sweetie.

We have had the Insurance assessor in today. Looks like we are in for repairs to the cabinetry and floor... :-D.. I think I fancy a change in flooring - wonder if I can swing Oh to my way of thinking ;-). Time will tell.

Toodle pip.

Ladies, I do hope you are all well. It amuses me that dear Upsidedown Susan is still one day ahead of us, and our today, is her yesterday.........................I think that is right!

Well, I think we are all back to normal now chez Motie Towers. I have got Pat-trish-aaaaah toiling away with the housework. How does so much dust accumulate when there is no-one there?

Mrs Berry and dear little Cherry are baking away in the kitchen, and the smell of freshly baked bread is wafting its way upstairs.

All the parties have been and gawn, and now we are in the process of fund raising again for the Old Soldiers and Sailors Home. Alas dear Lavinia did not leave that much in her Will for the upkeep, and we will have to do a few jumble sales and the like to maintain the gentlemen in general niceties.

The rain still keeps on araining, and we are all beginning to get webbed feet. I feel for the people living in the South-West, they are having a cruel time.

I look forward to seeing you again dear Susan. I hope your plans of the UK go smoothly.

Lesley dear, is that dear little E. in the new avatar? Whoever it is, it is beauty.

Teresa, just you and me working then? We must have been horrid in a previous life!

I am trying harder in this one!
